SINGAPORE – Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski may be down, but he’s not out just yet.

Arlovski (25-14 MMA, 14-8 UFC) enters UFC Fight Night 111’s main card heavyweight bout with Marcin Tybura (15-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a delicate position. Unable to win a fight since a decision over Frank Mir in September 2015, Arlovski is riding a four-fight skid for the second time in his accomplished MMA career.

While the losses weren’t exactly to slouches, with the likes of current champ Stipe Miocic and rising heavy-hitter Francis Ngannou in the mix, the ex-champ knows he’s at a crossroads right now.

“I lost four fights and I have to show that I’m not done yet,” Arlovski told MMAjunkie. “I have to show a great fight – a memorable fight for my fans, for the UFC. One hundred percent, I promise I’ll leave everything inside the octagon on Saturday night.”

Motivated by the desire to be closer to home and to his four-year-old son, Arlovski changed things up this time. He moved his preparation from Albuquerque, N.M., where he trained at Jackson-Wink MMA, to Florida. And while he believes the hard work made for a great camp, it apparently also required some wardrobe adjustments.

“First, of course, I have to be in shape,” Arlovski said. “And I have to be smart about my workouts. And I was surprised, because my workouts in Florida – (they were) between two and three, three and a half hours. During a workout with my kickboxing coach, I changed like six, seven T-shirts every session.

“Hopefully, I learned something new. I just have to be smart Saturday night and stick with my game plan. Because Tybura, no doubt – first of all, he’s young. He has a great kickboxing skill. So we’ll see.”

Arlovski has in Tybura an opponent seven years his junior who’s riding back-to-back wins since a loss in his UFC debut. And he’s clearly not taking him lightly. But Arlovski admits, that, given the choice, the Polish up-and-comer wouldn’t have necessarily been it.

“I’m not in the position right now to pick my opponents,” Arlovski said.”Of course I want to fight some, I don’t know, top-5 fighters. But I’m fighting for the UFC. The UFC decided I have to fight Tybura in Singapore.”

On March 19, 2011, 23-year-old Jon Jones brutalized UFC light heavyweight champion “Shogun” Rua to become the youngest titleholder in UFC history. But for Jones, it was only the start of a wild ride that at times spun out of control.
